Similar things can happen more than once. Years ago my daughter's dance
teacher congratulated a girl on (accidentally) kicking off her ballet
slipper, and continuing to dance as though nothing had happened. She
used her as an object lesson for the other kids in the class: "If you
lose your _pants_, you KEEP DANCING!" (of course, in the case of these
kids, said pants would be part of a costume on stage, the only possible
things to lose in that context, since it would be pretty much impossible
to lose leotard or tights).
